Why
Lately I can’t figure out why I hate myself.
What can I do to change how I feel?
I pray to god to help me see the good inside.
But every time I am disappointed more than before.
Some days I see who god wants me to be,
Living in his glory, holding his hand through the light and the dark
With faith in my heart I can feel his love.
Other days I fight and struggle to hold my head high.
I dig deep to find a smile to cover my face of sorrow
But often times the smile is nowhere to be found.
Battling all the negative things I hear myself say,
Why would god make me this way?
I am confused and wrapped tight around two extremes.
Trying to deal with a roller coaster that gains speed,
I know I will never be free so I continue to fight the demons that I meet.
